In an ideal world, we'd all have a skilled friend or relative who could teach us to use firearms safely and well.
Failing that, many people have to rely on professional instruction; and many people prefer to learn from professionals, because they're... more professional. Most classes are a mixture of time spent imparting information and time spent teaching skills. The former is done most efficiently with a group, and much of the latter has to involve one-on-one instruction in any case.
One-on-one tutoring is an attractive idea on the surface, but in practice, it would be more expensive for the students and less feasible economically for the instructors. Requiring nothing but one-on-one instruction would not only price a lot of students out of the market; it would also make it harder for firearms instructors to make a living. (I don't doubt that many instructors would love to be able to teach for free, but, again, that's not the world we live in.)
